To aZZ w hom it may concern Be it known that T, EMIT M. PosA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burleson, in the county of Johnson and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Airtorage-Tank Liquid Dispensing Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to air storage tank liquid dispensing devices and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of the invention is to provide a device of the character stated which is of simple and durable structure and which may be economically and'conveniently used for forcing a liquid from wells, buried tanks, crude oil tanks, coal oil cans, gasolene drums or in fact from any character of container usually employed for holding a liquid.

With the above object in view, the dispenser comprises a body preferably cylindrical in shape and having at its lower end a boss adapted to slidably engage the tank, top of the well or liquid container.

The tank is provided at its upper end with an exteriorly threaded nipple and a pipe passes through the nipple and the boss and traverses the length of the tank. The said pipe is provided with a suitable cut off valve. Means are provided for pumping or forcing air into the body, and an air pipe is connected at one end with the side of the body and bowed outwardly therefrom. The bowed portion of the said air pipe is provided with a valve and the said bowed portion may be used as a handle for carrying the body when the same is detached from the liquid container. From the bowed portion, the said air pipe extends back into the body and passes down and out of the body through the boss at the outer end thereof.

When the device is applied to a well top or liquid container, the liquid pipe is disposed with its lower endbelow the surface of the liquid held within the container and when the body is filled with compressed air, and the valve in the liquid pipe is opened and the valve in the air pipe is opened, the air passes from the body into the upper portion of the well or container, and the pressure upon the upper surface of the liquid forces the liquid up through the liquid pipe and out at the upper end thereof. By closing the valve in the liquid pipe, the flow of liquid is checked or interrupted.

Thesingle figure of the drawing illustrates n vertical section an air storage tank liquid dispensing device constructed in accordance with my invention. As illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the liquid dispensing device comprises a body provided at its lower end with a concentrlcally positioned boss 2. The said boss 2 isadapted to slidably engage in the top slde of a tank, well or other liquid container and which is indicated in the drawing at 3. The body 1 is provided at its top side with a concentrically positioned externally threaded nipple 4:. A pipe 5 passes through the nipple 4: and traverses the length of the body 1 and passes through the boss 2 and is adapted to be disposed in the container 3 with its lower end belowthe surface of the liquid therein. The pipe 5 is provided at a point above the upper end of the body 1 w th a valve 6. A collar 7 surrounds the plpe 5 and is threaded upon the nipple 4 and serves as means for frictionally holding the body 1 and the pipe 5 at adjusted positions with relation to each other. An air pump 8 is connected with the top side of the body 1 and may be used for forcing air into the said body. In lieu of the pump 8 any other means may be employed for supplying compressed air to the body 1 as for instance a hose (not shown) leading from an air reservoir.

An air pipe 10 is connected at one end with the interior of the body 1 through the sides thereof and the said pipe from ts point of connection with the said body is bowed outwardly as at '11 forming a han dle. The said handle portion is provided witha valve 12. From the outwardly bowed portion 11 the pipe 10 is extended back into the body 1 and down and out of the same through the boss 2. The lower end of the pipe 10 is disposed above the surface of the liquid which is confined in the container when the device is applied to the liquid container.

Assuming that the body 1 is charged with a volume of compressed air which has been injected therein by means of the pump 8 or other suitable means and that it is desired to use the device for forcing the liquid from the liquid container. The boss 2 is inserted into the top of the liquid. com

tainer so that the lower end of the pipe 5 is immersed below the surface of the liquid and the lower end of the pipe 10 is above the surface of the liquid in the container. The valve 12 is then opened wherebyair may pass from the body 1 through the pipe 10 into the upper portion of the liquid container and subject the liquid to air pressure. \Vhen the valve 6 is opened, the said air which is under pressure in the liquid container will expand and force the liquid up through the pipe 5 and out at the upper end thereof. hen it is desired to check or interrupt the flow of liquid through the pipe 5, the valve 6 is moved to, a closed position.

From the foregoing description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that a liquid dispenser of simple and durable form is provided and that the same may be economically and con 'veniently used for drawing liquid from a tank, well, or other liquid container.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is: y I

1. A liquid dispenser comprising a body provided at one end with a boss and at its opposite end with a nipple, a pipe passing through the nipple and boss and traversing the length of the body and provided at a point above the nipple with a valve, a collarsurrounding the pipe and having screw threaded engagement with the nipple and adapted to hold the pipe at an adjusted .position in the body, means for supplying air under pressure to the body, and an air pipe connected at one end with the body at a point between the ends thereof and having opposite end with a nipple, a pipe passing through the nipple and the boss and traversing the length of the body, a valve provided upon the pipe at a point above the nipple, a collar mounted upon the pipe and having screw threaded engagement 'with the boss and adapted to hold the body at an vadjusted position with relation to the pipe,

an air pump connected with the body, an

air pipe connected at one end with the body at the side thereof'and at a point between the ends thereof, the last mentioned pipe being extended outwardly from the body and bowed to form a handle, the said handle portion of the said pipe being provided with a valve, the last mentioned pipe from the said outwardly bowed portion being 6X tended back into the body and carried down and out through the boss which is mounted at the lower end thereof.
